The Blockchain Gaming News broadcast today has been rescheduled due to Alex ("Doge" on the forum) getting a full-time crypto job at Symetria. Everyone please congratulate him for completing the 12 Steps and weaning himself off of fiat employment, the beginning of a cleaner lifestyle.

As a result, the News broadcast will now be on Fridays once a month (still at 1 PM), in-between each Meetup broadcast. Simply put, we will have a broadcast every second Friday, alternating between the Meetups and the News segments. The next News segment is therefore on September 28, right when we get back from the Blockchain Game Summit.

Since we've got a thread updating everyone about our website on a couple other forums, already, I figured it made sense to put one here, as well. It will also give us a place to mention stuff here that doesn't fit well on other boards.

For example, we just launched our Telegram group! We'll be watching it for questions during broadcasts, so it's a good place to hang out during our News segments and our Meetups. Or just whenever you're bored--we love talking about blockchain games. Check it out: https://t.me/joinchat/GXsLrgzQqVl_bidxCmNUuQ

Every 3 weeks, Friday 7 PM Pacific time, www.blockchaingaming.com is going to host a Meetup in Vancouver going over a blockchain-based video game in detail, with overviews, demos and Q&As. Each event will be livestreamed to YouTube, with remote viewers encouraged to follow along and ask questions in the chatroom as we gradually test out every blockchain game on the market.

Our first Meetup broadcast will be September 14 and cover Spells of Genesis, one of the first blockchain games to be released having ICO'd years ago. A variety of Meetup groups have been invited and you can RSVP on Facebook, as well. Links:

Might as well since all the other stuff is self taught, but this coding thing is like trying to understand aliens when your brain is so old, dry and smooth as an egg.

I know the feeling so well, I'm trying to crack into C# (self taught) and while some things look logical enough, other times I feel like it would be easier to unravel the mysteries of the universe when it comes to learning coding!

It's hard to become a good coder! I dropped out of school for it, but I want to try again one day when I'm less busy. Right now I can only make text adventures with C++, no graphics or networking or anything.

My keynote at the Blockchain Game Summit will be on the Past, Present and Future of Blockchain Gaming, a good way for people who haven't been following the last few years to get up to speed. The conference in Lyon will be sponsored by Ubisoft, a major mainstream video game developer with offices in the city.

Our Blockchain Gaming site is partnering with the Blockchain Game Summit (www.blockchaingamesummit.com) coming up France in September. Let us know if you're interested in participating... all the admins will be there!

Unfortunately all the conference talks and panels I've done couldn't be recorded, but here are some videos and podcasts where I've interviewed people involved with or been interviewed about blockchain gaming. They range from 2015-2018.
